The way Mean Michelle wears her fancy designer clothes, she'd be just as well off wearing a tatterdemalions duds.
Why is tatterdemalion pronounced [pôrt-mān'tō, pōrt-, pôrt'mān-tō', pōrt'-]? I'd never have guessed at that pronunciation in 800 trillion years.

Once Spring really arrives, 70+ degree days consistently, I become the tatterdemalion of the neighborhood, old tshirts, torn jeans, flip flops, and in dire need of a haircut.
Ah.... goodbye old man winter.

Good Morning!
Just don't offer me any tatterdemalion whine, I don't care for it.
Every time I see a beggar standing at a corner, with or without a crudely lettered cardboard sign advertising his poverty, I note that he is raggedly dressed.
It's a benefit of the occupation, you see? He doesn't have to get dressed up to go to work. Any old thing will do.
The exception is his footwear. They usually have better, newer shoes than I do.
After all, if you're going to be on your feet all day, slaving away at the office, you want to be comfortable.

Obooba's economic policies will leaves in the same tatterdemalion state that FDR's did after his 10 years of incompetence and socialist policies and 4 years of Caters idiocy.
Slammed all three of my least favorite presidents with one definition, thanks for the opportunity
